Church Should Feel Like Home

July 12, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
The other day, I drove past a local church, and their sign made me hit the brakes: “Church Should Feel Like Home.” At first, I found myself nodding and thinking, “Yes, absolutely.” Then my very LDS reflex kicked in, and I thought, “Okay, but—home should feel like church.” That’s when it hit me: both are right.

Why True Remembrance Demands Movement

“And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer… that ye must build your foundation” (Helaman 5:12). In the scriptures, remember is rarely passive. It’s not “think a nice thought.” It’s a word that demands movement—build, watch, ponder, counsel, act. That’s because the gospel isn’t abstract. It’s meant to show up in real decisions, […]

Sacrament meeting talks are often packed with simple, powerful gospel truths. Every so often, the Spirit takes one phrase and presses it gently into your heart—like it was meant just for you. That happened to me today with the sentence this post begins with. — Larry Faith is not about having all the answers. It is trusting that the Savior […]

Pitching Our Tents: Why “Tents” Matter So Much in the Book of Mormon

June 21, 2026 Larry Gaian 0
Tents show up all over the Book of Mormon, and not just because ancient people liked camping. In the record, tents quietly become a symbol of what discipleship often feels like: traveling, gathering, worshipping, enduring, and waiting on the Lord—without always having a settled, permanent “home” yet. Tents, Tents and More Tents Camp life appears throughout the Book of Mormon, […]
